Devdutt Padikkal narrowly missed out on a fifth hundred in six games as Karnataka crushed Rajasthan by 150 runs and secured a spot in the Vijay Hazare Trophy quarter-finals. However, despite missing out on the century, Padikkal completed 600 runs in the ongoing season. This helped Padikkal register a sensational record - he became the first batter to amass 600 or more runs in three separate Vijay Hazare Trophy seasons. It is an achievement that even India's greatest ODI stalwarts like Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar or Rohit Sharma have managed. Following the innings, Padikkal averages an astonishing 83.62 in List A cricket after 38 innings, with 13 centuries and 13 half-centuries to his name. The sixth-round Group A game turned into a lopsided contest with Karnataka captain Mayank Agarwal (100 off 107 balls) slamming his second century of the ongoing tournament, while Padikkal (91 off 82 balls) missed his fifth ton by just nine runs as Karnataka emerged as a leading contender for ...

Hours after the United States launched airstrikes on Caracas , images and videos of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro - blindfolded and handcuffed - in a grey Nike tracksuit being escorted by US agents spread across social media. The Venezuelan leader and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured on allegations of drug trafficking and are now expected to face charges in New York, according to US authorities. A picture, shared by US President Donald Trump on Truth Social, showed Maduro aboard a US military vessel en route to the United States. The image quickly took off online, and attention zeroed in on Maduro's clothing: a gray Nike Tech Fleece tracksuit with black detailing. The outfit sold out rapidly on Nike's US website in the hours following the release of the images. Search interest for the term “Nike Tech” surged on Google, while TikTok and Instagram were filled with memes and commentary questioning the choice of clothing during such a high-stakes arrest. Meme of th...

While Dhurandhar continues to draw packed houses and glowing reviews, one person surprisingly hasn't experienced the film on the big screen yet - Akshaye Khanna's brother, Rahul Khanna. The Aditya Dhar directorial has emerged as a major box office success, with critics and audiences singling out Akshaye's portrayal of Rehman Dakait as a standout performance. Yet, even amid all the acclaim, his brother is still waiting for the right moment to watch it. Why Hasn't Rahul Khanna Watched Dhurandhar? In a conversation with Mid-Day, Rahul Khanna revealed that he has not yet watched Dhurandhar , despite the overwhelming praise pouring in for his brother. He shared that he is holding off for a personal reason and prefers to see the film with Akshaye himself. "I haven't seen the movie yet, I'm waiting for him (Akshaye Khanna) to show it to me. But anything he wears looks great, I'm sure he looks fantastic (smiles)." Akshaye Khanna Opens Up About His Bo...

At 4:21 on Saturday morning, US President Donald Trump sent a message on his Truth Social platform: the United States had carried out a daring mission to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. The action came as a surprise, but according to sources familiar with the matter, planning for one of the most complex US operations in recent memory had been in the works for some time and included detailed rehearsals. Elite US troops, including the Army's Delta Force, created an exact replica of Maduro's safe house and practiced how they would enter the strongly fortified residence. The CIA had a small team on the ground starting in August who were able to provide insight into Maduro's pattern of life that made grabbing him seamless, according to one source familiar with the matter. Two other sources told Reuters the intelligence agency also had an asset close to Maduro who would monitor his movements and was poised to pinpoint his exact location as the operat...

Russia condemned the US military action in Venezuela on Saturday and demanded "immediate" clarification about what happened to Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, who US President Donald Trump said was captured by US forces. Venezuela is Russia's most important ally in South America, though the Kremlin has stopped short of offering assistance to Caracas in the event of a conflict with the US. Early Saturday, "the United States committed an act of armed aggression against Venezuela. This is deeply concerning and condemnable," the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement. "The pretexts used to justify such actions are untenable. Ideological hostility has triumphed over businesslike pragmatism," it added. In a later statement, the ministry said it was "extremely alarmed by reports that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were forcibly removed from the country as a result of today's US aggression". "We call for an imm...

Swiss investigators said Friday that they believe sparkling flares atop Champagne bottles ignited the fatal fire at a ski resort when they came too close to a crowded bar's ceiling. Forty people were killed, and another 119 were injured in the blaze as it ripped through the busy Le Constellation bar at the ski resort of Crans-Montana while revellers were celebrating New Year's Eve, authorities said. Among the crowd was Axel Clavier, a 16-year-old from Paris, who said he felt as if he was suffocating inside the Swiss Alpine bar where moments before he had been ringing in the new year with friends and dozens of other people. The teenager escaped the inferno, which broke out early Thursday, by forcing a window open with a table. But about 40 other partygoers died, including one of Clavier's friends, falling victim to one of the worst tragedies in Switzerland's history. Many of the wounded were in their teens to mid-20s, police said. Clavier told The Associated Press t...
